'''Mount Rinjani''' is an active
volcano in
Indonesia on the island of
Lombok. It rises to 3,726 m (12,224 ft), making it the third-largest volcano in Indonesia. The first historical eruption occurred in September of
1847. The most recent eruption of Mount Rinjani was on
1 October 2004. The volcano, and its sacred, and spectacular Segara anak crater lake, are protected by a
national park established in
1997. The 6 km by 8.5 km oval-shaped caldera is filled partially by a lake known as Segara Anak. The eruptions of 1994, 1995, and 1996 have formed a small cone in the center of the caldera and lava flows from these eruptions have entered the lake.
